AUTHOR BIO

Born and raised in New York City, Ed Curtis relocated to Dallas, Texas, at the age of twenty-five and has happily lived in the Lone Star State ever since. Over more than twenty years as a Texas commercial banking executive, Ed witnessed an increasing number of investors and clientele from all over the US moving their operations into Texas, and he developed a passion for helping businesses relocate to his chosen home successfully. In 2013, Ed founded and trademarked YTexas, an elite Texas business network that helps support, promote, and connect companies that are relocating, expanding, and growing in the Lone Star State. The unified group of YTexas Texan businesses that contribute to YTexas.com and the CEO Insider Podcast have become go-to resources for the most current insider information about Texas's community, commerce, and culture. Ed's ultimate vision is to build a next-level approach to economic development in Texas that can be emulated all over the United States. Ed lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Staci, and two children.
